🧵As some of you know, my colleagues in the @LAblackcaucus asked me to offer myself in this election. SD 5 was carved out to be a majority Black seat, and give minorities a seat at the table in Baton Rouge.
With this in mind, I’m honored to announce their endorsement. (1/4) – at New Orleans, LA

As of today, Louisiana has outlawed race-based hair discrimination. This legislative session, I was proud to support @RepNewell99’s CROWN Act to protect Louisianans from discrimination based on their natural, protective, or cultural hairstyles. #lagov buff.ly/3Bw4QP1

Hair discrimination is racial discrimination, and discrimination is not a Louisiana value. Rep. Newell's CROWN Act will protect Louisianans from discrimination based on a person's natural, protective, or cultural hairstyle. It is with great pride that I signed it into law. #lagov

Congratulations to @RepNewell99 for shepherding through legislation that makes it illegal to outlaw ethnic hair as “non-professional”. Once @LouisianaGov signs this bill, the #CrownAct will be Louisiana Law!
This is tremendous for our State. – at New Orleans, LA
